Case Study: Puregold Price Club achieves 24/7 JDA MMS availability and fast disaster recovery with Precisely's Assure iTERA HA

Puregold Price Club - Customer Case Study

Puregold Price Club, Inc., a major Philippine retail chain operating 20 Puregold and 4 PriceSmart/S&R stores, relied on a single IBM i production server running JDA MMS that already processed more than three terabytes of data. To guarantee 24/7 availability of its core merchandising application and avoid costly outages, Puregold engaged Precisely and chose the Assure iTERA HA solution.

Precisely implemented Assure iTERA HA to leverage IBM remote journaling and clustering, replicating JDA MMS transactions in real time to a 3.5‑terabyte IBM i backup server with automatic failover. The result: continuous protection and fast replication across all stores, minimal data loss, immediate takeover during unplanned outages, easy management after one week of training for Puregold’s three‑member IT team, and avoidance of prior downtime that had cost the company millions of pesos.
